Lastly, before we roll over into the bell and begin this episode please note that today's conversation on angel season 3 episode 6 Billy does contain themes of sexual violence now i'm going to sound that bell and i'm going to scoot on out of here make way for Latoya and Morgan.

Welcome back to angel on top a podcast where we watch and discuss every episode of angel one by one spoiler free and in tandem with buffering the vampire slayer i'm your co host Latoya Ferguson and i'm your other co host Morgan loot it.

And this week we're watching angel season 3 episode 6 Billy Billy was written by Tim Manier and Jeffrey Bell and directed by David Grossman it aired on the wb on October 29th 2001 this is the one wherever we learned a little something about misogyny.

Angel on top two hosts once more yay i'm so excited to be here hi everybody you might remember me from the carpe knocked him episode and now i'm back on a decision.

I decided that the way to reward Morgan for being on an upsettingly horny episode where we felt weird about doing fuck watches is to make sure she becomes the official co host on a decidedly un horny episode where it's even harder to do a fuck watch that's the person i am that's going to friend I am basically and I just want to say thank you so much.

Morgan before we like really get into Billy an episode that you know people have a lot of thoughts about I have a lot of thoughts about a difficult episode discuss an episode that Kristen chickened out of being on.

Do you want to talk about how far you are in your angel reslash official watch i am almost all the way through season one I just have the finale left to watch i've been trying to kind of keep my separate continuities in whatever way that I can so when I watched Fred lists to catch up on this watch i figured i would.

Watch more season one of angel until I watched Billy and we did our episode so i'm going to return to a chanchu and L.A.

Very soon and me and my boyfriend Michael chasin are having a really good time watching it I have some unique takes not unique they're not excited guys some takes on angel and him being a rescuer of women which is very much what season one of angel feels like and this is definitely an episode about men and women and the way they relate to each other and.

The way things are socialized and has a lot to dig into about like angel as a protector of i mean at least cordelia in this episode so it should be fun to talk about and so like season two is like really really your blind spot right.

Yeah i truly like barely remember i think i remember resenting him going dark um a fair amount because again i was 15 and i just wanted him to kiss buffy so he was like being mean and like having sex with darla i was like absolutely not this is where is my beautiful husband.

So this episode i think is great i always thought it was great points deducted for being written and directed by men.

Yeah and then there's one scene i really want to talk about that from the IMDB trivia i know it was specifically written by joss also who was not created right on this but you know he's just.

Yeah i mean he gets to write whatever he wants for it so yeah that makes sense i'm excited to find out what scene that is as we.

You probably guess what scene it is too because i also had a feeling watching it and then the trivia kind of affirmed it for me.
